yeah so far no lens problems... the only discs that my ps3 eats are a healthy diet of blue ray game discs only.

well you can be sure I will take my time playing the game, not rush through it and brag that I finished it before others did. Lame-O! It's like gobbling down fine food at a fine dining restaurant.

that would be true, except for the fact when you realize they are both in that position because raiden stabbed himself with a sword to impale vamp

you guys really know how to put images in my head... stop stop!

when the release date gets sooner I will start my total media blackout on this game to avoid spoilers. You won't be seeing me on this thread for some time when that starts

I think it would be far too soon to say this is the last MGS directed by Kojima. MGS3 was supposed to be the "last" one too. Even if Kojima does stop directing MGS, I'm sure he would pick the right men for the next one if it were up to him.

Come on, it doesnt seem wise to boycott the next MGS after this one before we hadn't even heard anything about it just because it won't be directed by him. Fanboys would be eating their hat if the next MGS is directed by someone who's just as good, if not better than kojima.

I remember reading somewhere this MGS will be like a transition of the fans interest from snake to raiden. At least that's what I've been led to believe. Snake will die a hero here but with raiden taking over by making him a lot cooler than snake.

There was already some indication of this in the MGS trailer with snake having problems dealing with one of those organic legs Metal Gear while raiden coolly taking on 4-5 of those things like it was a well rehearsed acrobatic ninja dance class routine.

Or kojima could pull a sons of liberty on us again by making someone completely unknown the main player again lulz. I have this irrational 'sneaking' suspicion that old snake isnt really solid snake.



As for future titles? A nice touch would be the start of the metal gear liquid series starring raiden with liquid's genes implanted in him.

they can dream on for the MGS4 coming to their platform. It is one of the defining games of the sony brand.

evil? Exclusives are one strategy both sides use to give a reason for customers to buy their console over the other. You can say the same for M$ for keeping certain other games exclusive.

If anyone is responsible for the huge size it's kojima for making the audio quality extremely high. The previous MGS series had nonrepeating music that was tailored for each scene. It's the dedication and quality to the game that made the MGS series so popular. If I remembered right Kojima played through MGS2 for around a hundred hours before declaring it was finally finished.


on another note... some of you may have missed this interview with kojima...

The crotch grab make me smile each time I see it. lulz!

It's PSYCHO MANTIS lah

happens to the best of us s'alright

I doubt that you can play the E3 trailer because it's in WMV format. M$ format ma... I don't remember sony buying rights to include windows codec to run on Microsoft's biggest rival console.

well that's why I said I doubt. I know about divx support but I forgot about WMV

damn you beat me to it

anyways here is the pic. Steel dull black PS3 for MGS4!



A little mixed feeling for this. If they somehow engraved solid snake onto the ps3 it would entice me more... but... yeah well. If the material feels like brushed steel...

OMG. How heavy would it be???

sounds a lot like Apple inc. to me too...


If the casing feels like gun steel.... that would be pretty amazing. Some engraving of solid snake would be nice at the top, along with timeline of birth till death. If it were standing it would look a little like a tombstone for snake.

Fitting for the finale in the series.

Or maybe they don't do that because snake didnt actually die?

DUDE! spray back the ps3 logo on top of that and people will wonder HOW the hell u got the limited edition shown on the box art so early!

ok this is it.... my personal media blackout for MGS4 for me begins now. I'll see u guys again in this thread once I finish the game. Cheers!

Due to extreme want to play the beta, I guess I have to lift my media blackout just to view this thread to participate in the beta test program . hello

K I managed to get myself a konami id and already confirmed my email with them. In less than half an hour mind you!

How ?

1. Download firefox's Autoformer Add-on tool.

2. Go to http://id.konami.net and fill in the details. Try to be as accurate as possible. I even used google maps to make sure I had an authentic postbox, city and region in australia. No need to rush. For both of the registration pages, before clicking next click edit > Autoformer > save all fields.

3. Now since u took ur sweet time to give as accurate data as possible, the registration process will likely fail. No sweat. Just retry, BUT this time the autoformer will refill all the necessary data for you. Just click fast fast to the next one! Sure can one ! I did have to retry 4-5 times to get through though.

4. Check email. I got my reply in less than 10 seconds. Click link in email to agree. Will likely fail also. Mine did fail. Retry.

5. Profit!

Now can I ask you kind sirs where can I download the beta file? P2P? Uncle Google didnt know what to tell me.

Oooh. Thanks for the info. PSN Store eh? Currently only having SG, US, JP and AU. Gonna try the US PSN store first, otherwise guess I have to sign up for a UK PSN as well. Since I registered mine as australia I hope the europe one works.

Funny, clicking the link by Ninja only shows file not found.

UPDATE: eh? ninja's post disappeared.
